Golf fans in the desert might be envious that Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm are playing in the Hero Dubai Desert Classic on the DP World Tour this week, while Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele withdrew from playing in The American Express in La Quinta. The La Quinta field went from a great field to a good field, fans might be tempted to say.

McIlroy has been speaking on behalf of the PGA Tour's side for the entire LIV Golf saga. Rahm was on his side for two years before jumping to the rival tour in late 2023. The division in golf's professional ranks has tanked television ratings but the recreational side of the sport has boomed in recent years.

In 2025, the tour will hold eight Signature Events, each with a huge prize fund of $20 million. At three of these events, the winner earns $4 million, and $3.6 million is dished out to the winners of the others.

It seems that except for a few trees, the Augusta National won't look much different despite suffering damages during Hurricane Helene.

Norman, the 1986 and 1983 Open champion who will continue with the league in an ambiguous role, often came off as divisive when LIV entered the golf scene. He called McIlroy "brainwashed by the PGA Tour" in 2022, putting Norman in the four-time major champion's crosshairs.
